New Orleans Blues Piano, Part 3 of 6: Professor Longhair, Caribbean Music and The Junker
Blues pianist and songwriter Jon Cleary continues his discussion of the New Orleans blues piano style by spotlighting the great Professor Longhair and demonstrating how his style was derived in part from the Caribbean music and culture that moved through the Port of New Orleans in the 1930s and 1940s. He also shows how Professor Longhairs famous tune, Tipitina combines a traditional New Orleans blues form with rhythms derived from Cuban music.
